She&#8217;s been criticised for her daring actions to steal people&#8217;s men on the dating show, but she&#8217;s always been open about figuring out who she is.<\/p>\n<p>She said on a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=b7CJAnJ5vt8\">YouTube video<\/a>, around the same time filming took place: &#8220;I&#8217;ve struggled with an identity crisis my entire life and things are clearing up a bit more right now, but I had one of my biggest identity crises when I went to an international school.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Choi explained how, she was born in Sydney, Australia, and then her and her family moved to Korea, where she went to Korean public school. &#8220;That&#8217;s where I was viewed as very, very Korean and then I moved to Canada, the States, and I was exposed to these areas.&#8221;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_44919\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-44919\" style=\"width: 1200px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-44919\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.realitytvshrine.com\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Celines-featured-images-336.png\" alt=\"Choi Mina Sue on Single's Inferno\" width=\"1200\" height=\"630\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.realitytvshrine.com\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Celines-featured-images-336.png 1200w, https:\/\/cdn.realitytvshrine.com\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Celines-featured-images-336-300x158.png 300w, https:\/\/cdn.realitytvshrine.com\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Celines-featured-images-336-1024x538.png 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.realitytvshrine.com\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Celines-featured-images-336-768x403.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-44919\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Credit: Netflix<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&#8220;When I went there, I was considered an international kid, so I was a Korean that was good at English. But then all of a sudden, when I came to Korea, I attended an international school, I was suddenly viewed as someone who was not too American enough,&#8221; she said.<\/p>\n<p>She added: &#8220;There were kids that looked like me that were Korean that were fluent in English, but were more American than I. I didn&#8217;t relate to them at all. They were speaking English, they were Korean, but I was so confused by who I was all of a sudden.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Mina Sue revealed that she had a third round of identity crisis when she later went to college. &#8220;After experiencing international school, I was ready to finally be with my people, with mixed, diverse people that were speaking English, and we&#8217;ll connect that way,&#8221; she hoped.<\/p>\n<p>However, she felt that college was a very &#8220;cliquey place&#8221; and that she &#8220;struggled to find her place&#8221; there. &#8220;I remember one of my Asian-American friends calling me a fob, I don&#8217;t take it offensively because I was literally fresh off the boat,&#8221;
